free aerial photos?

[tropheus]

anyone know where I can find a source on the web for free aerial photos (w/o watermarks) of several parts of austin?

Everything I've found so far requires a fee...

Thanks.

This may not have the size you need, but perhaps you can stitch several images together. (requires Java plugin for your browser)

thanks, that works, but I can't save the photo as a file -- is it protected or something?

does this work?

I always use Alt+PrintScreen and paste that into an image editor, but if you don't have an imaging program that's not much of a solution.

thanks guys.

CAPCOG has photos from 2002 of Travis County and 9 additonal surrounding counties for free download. They are compressed with Mr.Sid software and are shot at 2ft/pixel resolution. You'll need to download a free viewer to look at them.

This one is pretty awsome. The options on the right are numerous.

Have fun.

If you zoom in on Norman, you can tell that OU sucks!

I think I have what I need, I found terraserver, but that has only night time shots of the area I need.

Thanks everyone...
